1. Start your MetaTrader 4 terminal.

2. Go to: [Files] -> [Open Data Folder] (or combination of left [ALT]+[F] keys and then [D] key).

3. New window should open. Go to [config] folder where will see SRV files that stores Brokers's MT4 Server information.

4. Open [SRV file] with [Notepad] - on this step Windows will probably message you that it can't open this type of file so you need to choose [Select a program from a list of installed programs] and there choose a [Notepad] program.

5. Now you need to look for DNS/IP address entry inside that file.
